November 23, 2011: Grand Prix-miere!

I added 22 more ads today from September 1996 issues of TV Guide Magazine plus one Random Pages gallery addition, a 9/14/96 full-page prime-time schedule grid for the Fall 1996 shows on the commercial broadcast networks. There's one in the Channel 36 gallery, a Sunday, 9/8/96 ad for The Gordon Elliott Show. There's also one in the Ohio & W. Pennsylvania gallery, a Monday, 9/9/96 full-page ad for the premiere of Access Hollywood on Lima's WOHL-LP 67. There are three ads in the ABC gallery including a Friday 9/6/96 ad for The ABC Saturday Morning Preview Party (Melissa Joan Hart). There's also a 9/7/96 color four-page fold-out ad (in two images) for the series premieres of Spin City (Michael J. Fox) and Townies (Lauren Graham, Molly Ringwald, Jenna Eldman). The second part gives details of a contest with a chance to win a Pontiac Grand Prix. Next is a Sunday, 9/8/96 full-page ad for the 1996 Emmy Awards (Dennis Franz, Fran Drescher, George Clooney, Julianna Margulies, Cybill Shepherd, Ellen DeGeneres, John Lithgow, Jimmy Smits, Gillian Anderson, Andre Braugher, Patricia Richardson, Paul Reiser, Michael J. Fox, Oprah Winfrey). There are five in the CBS gallery including a Thursday, 9/12/96 ad for 48 Hours. There's a Friday, 9/13/96 1-1/2 page ad for the 4th season premiere of Dave's World, "Based on a True Story" (Harry Anderson) and the series premiere of Everybody Loves Raymond (Ray Romano). A listing for Dave's World and a close-up for Raymond are also included. There's also another 9/13/96 ad for Nash Bridges "Internal Affairs" (Don Johnson, Cheech Marin). Next are two Sunday, 9/15/96 ads, the first one, a full-page ad for 60 Minutes and the second ad for Touched by an Angel "Promised Land" which introduced that Gerald McRaney series. There are two in the FOX gallery, a Monday, 9/9/96 two-part ad for the 5th season premiere of Melrose Place, "Living With Disaster" and a Tuesday, 9/10/96 full-page ad for Fox Original Movie "Dark Angel" (Eric Roberts). There's just one in the NBC gallery, a Saturday, 9/14/96 full-page ad for the 76th annual Miss America Pageant (Regis Philbin). I believe this was the last year that NBC carried it. There's also just one in he UPN gallery, a Wednesday, 9/11/96 ad (on two pages) for The Sentinel "Out of the Past" and Star Trek: Voyager "Flashback" (George Takei as Sulu). There are two ads in the WB gallery, a Friday, 9/6/96 ad for the 90 minute series premiere of the animated Superman, "The Last Son of Krypton" and a Sunday, 9/8/96 ad for Kirk "For Whom the Wedding Bell Tolls," The Parent 'Hood "The Critic," a rerun of The Steve Harvey Show "Back to School," Unhappily Ever After "Tiffany's Rival" and a rerun of the Life With Roger pilot. The last six are all in the Vintage Cable Ads gallery. There's a 9/7/96 full-page color ad for The Weather Channel, a Sunday, 9/8/96 ad for Emmy Night on E! (Jimmy Smits, Gillian Anderson, Kim Delaney, Anthony Edwards, Michael Richards, Cybill Shepherd) and a 9/8/96 full-page ad for "The Lion King" on the Disney Channel. Next is another 9/8/96 ad for a Nick-at-Nite preview of Nickelodeon's Blue's Clues, a Monday, 9/9/96 ad for Wild Discovery "Out of Africa" on the Discovery Channel, and a Saturday, 9/14/96 full-page ad for HBO's "Crime of the Century." Happy Thanksgiving to everybody and, if you haven't already done so, please check out the Thanksgiving Gallery. More September 1996 ads, including some more for season premieres and series premieres, are on the way...
